A friend recommended this hostel to us so we were pretty surprised to find that the hostel wasn't that good for what you pay. The dorms are overcrowded and the linen dirty. Fans that barely worked and didn't reach top bunks so no sleep as Taganga is HOT. Kitchen dirty and under-equipped. Only one girl working there at the time and she wasn't welcoming and didn't really help with anything. To top it off there was no atmosphere so not worth the lack of hygiene and service.

Nice spot to chill and get a view of the bay. It's kind of far up the hill from the water, but only like ten minutes.

I've never had a better experience in a hostal in Taganga. Mona is una chimba and Rafa and Diana in the Bar will keep you delighted all night long with amazing Bajatangas and Crunchy-tasty burgers (you can book your dinner in advance for a very reasonable price.) I was planning to stay only for a few days, but i'm loving the view from the bar and the pool in the first floor.. so I had to make it longer. I'll see you later, Tortuga!!

The place has a nice facilities, nice pool, nice backyard, but there are not mosquito net on the rooms, and I have stings all over my body, also the fan do not work properly. The heat and mosquitos turn the night in a nightmare, the price is hight what the offer. Don't even have free breakfast as other hostel do.

Hola
Sad to hear that your experience was that bad. Also sad you didn´t tell us anything at the time so that we could solve the problems. We checked and the fans are working properly, and we are gonna fix the mosquito nets. Thanks for you comments.
Maybe, next time if you talk to the staff at the moment... you will be surprised how fast they can solve small issues, just by talking.
Online reviews are super useful, but don´t give us the chance to help you when you need it.
Best regards

I loved staying here. The staff were potentially the most fantastic of my few months in south America. The cocktail's were delicious and the pool lovely.
However a few drawbacks could do with fixing. The Internet was terrible, the mattresses uncomfortable and the sheets never stayed on. Also there were no ladders to get into the top bunks which is a challenge if you are short.
Regardless of this because of the staff, bar and atmosphere, i'd go back.

Really enjoyed my stay here and it is a fantastic hostel that has everything that you need. The staff were very friendly and provided assistance whenever we needed, it has a pool, a nice outdoor seating area and hammocks around the property where you can enjoy a lazy afternoon. The only downside is the location which is a little further away from the main strip however it’s only a few minutes’ walk away so not really a big deal. Would recommend.

Lovely hostel, great beds, kitchen, and pool. The owner Mona was such a lovely person and very helpful. It's a little out of the main area, still a short walk but I didn't feel super safe walking here at night.
